I can see this movie being the comedy equivalent to The Prestige. Though if he does sign on I think it might be best if was placed as the partner of which ever rival teams. wouldn't hurt the movie because it get promoted with him and Carrell as top bill.

According to Collider, Olivia Wilde has won the role as the female lead. She's OK in House MD, but I hated her in Cowboys & Aliens, where she was nothing more than a woman being beatiful. I hope the director, Don Scardino, will know what to do. His previous work is nothing that can be compared with a movie and is mostly ... well, it could have been directed by anyone, you know. You wouldn't notice the difference.

Ha in the UK we had this show Bo Selecta (it's so funny) well the guy used to do a weekly thing taking the michael out of David Blain, If JC is doing a funny character in this know it will be as funny if not more Bo Selecta - David Blaine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dAiEeebBWk

Jim Carrey begins filming in Las Vegas next week. The start is set to January 9th.

Longtime Las Vegas favorite, magician Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell), and his sidekick, Anton Lovecraft (Steve Buscemi), have allowed their show to grow stale, while up-and-coming Steve Haines (Jim Carrey), is stealing the limelight.Entitled, cynical and jaded, Burt finds himself out of a job and broke, while Anton heads to Cambodia to spread the joy of magic to hungry villagers. It takes Burt's original mentor, Rance Hanson (Alan Arkin), to talk sense into glum Burt, as well as a good kick in the keester by his adoring assistant, Jane (Olivia Wilde), to get Burt on track - back doing magic with all the zeal and passion that compelled him as a youngster...

I've been looking up online some of the latest magiciansand I think the question is Would the 18 's - 35 demographic groupbe mystifyied by Steve Haines? Would histechniques be advanced, fast and mystic enoughto draw in their attention. Once Jim has the tricks down he should try themon his daughter and see what she thinks. She is in that group.I believe Jane would give him her honest opinion.

I have a difficult time keeping up to my kids,this will be a challenge for Jim, I'm sure.

I saw Sherlock Holmes this week and I liked the waythe visual bombardment worked, I don't know if thismovie could use similar effects.
